"Over the past few months, I have continuously purchased two chicken every week and I am happy that my poultry project is really growing. This is a great step in my life considering that the transfers are almost coming to an end. I am now certain that I will at least be having some income to comfortably cater for my household basic necessities without necessarily doing casual jobs."

"In four months’ time, my new goal for my life is to ensure that I start keeping poultry farming which has been my wish for so long. The proceeds in terms of eggs and chicken will also supplement the family daily needs for me in that order. I also feel that this is on project that can easily be managed and returns from it are just good."

"In four months’ time, my new goal for my life is to venture in poultry farming which has been my wish for so long. Given that this is one project which I feel I can easily handle with much ease and dedication that it deserves. The proceeds in terms of eggs and chicken will also supplement the family daily needs for me in that order."

"For a long time, I had dreamt of improving my small poultry project to make a better living. When I got my first transfers from GiveDirectly, I decided to invest some amount on poultry. I am optimistic that I will be collecting more eggs. I expect to get better returns as one egg sells at KES15. I am not only reaping from the sale of eggs but also the chicken wastes that I am using in my kitchen garden where I grow kales, spinach, onions from which I enjoy fresh and nutritious vegetables. With an already lucrative prospect of this project, I plan to invest more in other incoming generating activities that will boost my income."

"Adding more chicken to my poultry as well as buying goats and sheep that will multiply in future which will enable me to sell some and start up a saloon business is what receiving this money means to me. I am a house wife and i derive my source of income from selling eggs from my chicken hence adding more of them means a boost financially"

"In six months’ time, I expect to have already started poultry farming. I also have high hopes that I won’t be struggling to provide for my family’s basic needs since the proceeds I get from poultry keeping will help me. Since chicken also lay eggs, my family can also feed on them hence healthy people in my family."

"When I received my first transfer, I used some amount to furnish our house. I bought some cement, sand, gravel, red oxide, bricks and also paid the cost of labor for this work. I settled on this since I have been walking for a long distance looking for clay soil which is always rarely found. I used the remaining amount to buy a wire mesh to use in fencing my compound. I decided on this so that my chicken will not be moving into the farm to destroy my crops."

"The first transfer from GiveDirectly came with great joy which rejuvenated our happiness and the spirit of working more harder once more in our household. We spent the first 25000 KES on purchasing a good breed of a heifer, used 15000 KES on buying a chain link in preparation to construct a chicken coop since we have just started a poultry farming. The remaining part of it was spent on the household foodstuff and clothing for all the members of the household."

"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I'll have enough freedom to do other developmental activities like dairy farming and poultry keeping. Having implemented these projects will enable me to have an additional source of income because I will be selling eggs to get money and also chicken. I won't have any difficulty in paying school fees and providing for my family and this is my expectation in the next six months."

"Early this year, I invested part of my transfer on starting up a business. Since the capital which I had was little, I began to buy some chicken from within my locality and resell at a nearby shopping centre. Through this, I have been able to raise little money to cater to my family needs. In the last four months, I have been spending part of the money to expand this business which has since then grown my business and I can buy 10 chicken at once which in turn gives me a good profit."
